Best games to play with kids are cooperative games: with small kids you can do all the job and let them just roll the dice or move figures and it is still great time (for all). Flash Point is great example of good coop to play with kids – I have played that with 3 and 4 year old. There is family variant and advanced variant if you want more challenge, you can also mix rules from both as you like.
I am responsible for 99% of Turtles game copies in Ireland 😉 Game was introduced at Knavecon 2 few years ago and became instant hit. One of those games that can be enjoyed by kids and adults. Some people even suggested to play it for money. Simple rules, very fast, great components. Get your turtle the first to reach the lettuce using your 5 cards hand. Thing is you do not know what colour are other players. Jump on the back of others and let them carry you to finish line 😉
Pictured above are 5 and 7 year old and as you can see they enjoy it a lot ;).
Just remember that ‘advanced’, unofficial version must be played with adults: winner is turtle on top and not on the bottom like in official rules.
Several copies of Turtles will be available to play at KnaveKids. We might even do small ‘tournament’.
